I love Autumn. I like all the other seasons too – but Autumn always wins it for me. I love the chilly breeze but the clear skies, I love the anticipations towards Christmas. I love the incredible colours – those burnt oranges and reds and the crunchy leaves on the pavements. I love all the…

The trendy DUMBO neighbourhood is one of the coolest places to visit in New York, and somewhere that is often overlooked by tourists, who may feel a bit overwhelmed or pushed for time to leave Manhattan. DUMBO Brooklyn is an acronym for ‘Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass’ – and now you can see why…

There’s a reason so many love stories are set in NYC. It’s because the city literally reeks of romance – and I mean this in the best way possible. NYC is one of my favourite places on Earth – and it’s because everything about it feels magic. Like every step you’re about to take might…

There is nowhere more magical than Central Park in the snow. Not just a little dusting of it, I’m talking about when the snow is inches thick, and the park suddenly goes quiet, with only a few people scattered around the white fields and pathways.

I am (admittedly) a NYC obsessive. I grew up surrounding myself with everything NYC related, I was absolutely obsessed with the city – and still am. I visited for the first time when I was 18, and have kept visiting every couple of years since then. It’s basically like a love-affair. My other love (cheesy, but let’s…

NYC is my long lost true love. I think of the city as a person, and them and I are forever torn apart by this evil villain called ‘greencard’. But just because I can’t live there, doesn’t mean I won’t endeavour to visit there as often as I possibly can. Pad and I are regulars…
